exposed end of a cigarette or cigar holder.

except at the insertion of the cigarette or cigar and will provide a means for smoking the cigar or cigarette without the light from I the burning cigarette being visible.

Y A further object of the invention is in providing means for lighting the cigar or cigarette with the cap on the end of the cigarette holder and at the same time preventing any light from emanating from the holder.

A still further object is in providing a removable piece of emery in the cap so that a match may be inserted through one side and ignited on the emery to thereby light 55 the cigar or cigarette.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of the holder, cigarette and match.

Figure 2 is a top plan view.- F

Figure 3 is a side elevation of the cap.

Figure 4 is a section on the line 4-4 of Figure 3.

Figure 5 is a top plan view ofthe cap with the emery removed.

A cap 10, open at one end, is adapted to fit the end of a cigarette holder, being formed with a shoulder 11,

i which abuts the end of the body portion 7, a

depending part 12 extending down into the bottom of the holder forming a more substantial support. The cap is provlded with a plurality of holes 13 to permit air to enter 59 the holder and assist in the combustion of the the'cap.

cigarette. A. rectangular shaped opening '14 is also formed in the cap, the sides'of theopening converging so that .the opening is smaller at the inner surface than at the outer surface. A block of'emery 15, shaped to fit. the hole 14, is held in place by. a member 16, which is pivotally mounted on the capat17. The hole diametrically opposite the opening 14 is made large enough to, admit the head of a match as shown at 18.1 A tapered socket 19 is formed in the closed end of the cap and serves the purpose of extinguishing the lighted end of the cigarette which may be pushed forward into the socket. The memer 16 is formed. with a slight upstanding end 20 which allows easy turning of this member for removal of the emery.

' In use, after the cigarettehas been inserted, the cap is put on the holder and a match put through the opening opposite the emery. By a slight frictional engagementwith the emery either by turning or looping, the match is ignited and the cigarette lit, the match being extinguished on being withdrawn from This is accomplished by making the 4 opening 18 just large enough to admit the match. The piece of enemy can be renewed at any time by simply swingingthe member- 16 upon its pivot17, removing the emery from the opening block of emery. This'allows, the holder to be practically everlasting and provides a simple and eflicient means for smoking a 14 and inserting a new cigarette under conditions where the. showing of alight would be disadvantageous. .What is claimed is I 1. A cap for a cigarette holder,*adap'ted to prevent light from emanating from the lighted end of the cigarette, a means carried within the cap and removable from the outside of said cap to provide striking engagement with a match to ignite the cigarette,

and pivotally mountedresilient means upon the outside-of the cap and detachably engaging the match strikingmeans to hold the latter in place. 4

2. A cap' for cigarette holders having ,a series of holes, the said cap also having a rectangular opening having converging sidev walls so that the inner surface of the opening is smaller than the outer surface, a correspondingly shaped block of emery carried 1n the opening, and a means for retaining the emery in the cap. 1

3. A-cap having a series of holes, the said cap having a rectangular opening, a block of emery carried in the rectangular opening,

a resilient member pivotally carried on the cap adapted to engage the outside surface of the emery and retain the saidemery in the cap, one of the holes of the cap diametrically opposite the rectangular opening being formed large enough to admit a match wherev by the said match may be ignited by a frictional engagement with the emery, the said emery being removable.

Intestimony whereof I aifix my signature.
